Title: Using several RDS32
Post by: balvenie on March 23, 2013, 07:12:18 pm

Hello,

Serveral transmitters are fed with audio using IP 5.6Ghz transmission.
The links are in a one after one config ie from studio to transmiiter 1 then from T1 to transmitter 2 and so on.
Obviously the RDS data are the same to each transmitter and I wonder the possibility to send data to each transmitter using Magic RDS.
The RDS32 are connected to the IP link using Ethernet to TS232 converters on each transmitter site.
Should I run several instances of magis RDS, or only one ?

TKS

Both options are possible. However if the encoders carry exactly the same data that changes dynamically, it would be better to use one Magic RDS + TCP/IP software splitter. One is available at http://pira.cz/rds/show.asp?art=rds_net

Note: When using RDS Net or any kind of splitter, the communication should be set as unidirectional in the Magic RDS (Preferences - uncheck Bidirectional).
